Hagler didn't so much let up on Antuofermo as Antuofermo hit the afterburner button. Antuofermo, realizing it was slipping away, really stepped...
Love Olivarez. Hagler way out front.
Bold I rank Norton over. Italics means maybe.

Ali. Susceptibility to the left hook. He never solved this problem. This fault is countered by his tremendous chin. But he never had to take...
